Ideal Drinking Water Temperature

[Gilgamesh]

I have been searching around for a simple piece of information....

What is the ideal temperature for drinking water?

Here is what I know so far:

1- For people on a diet, it might be nice to know that for every 500 ml of water you drink at Ice Cold (around 0 Celsius) your body burns 70 Calories (kcalories) to raise to body temperature so that it can be used.

2- Water has great benefits when you drink it at a temperature close to your body temperature (around 37 Celsius) such as:

a- Utilizing Metabolism and boosting it in a short time. This might be critical for both people on diets and especially for athletes.

b- As opposed to cold water, it is said that drinking water on such a temperature is very helpful to the vocal chords. It helps in preserving them and during ling speeches and all that.

c- Again for athletes, the speed in which the body starts to use the water u just drank greatly depends on the temperature of that water. The optimum for that being body temperature.


Since this is not a scientific study, add anything to that if u have any knowledge in it.

There's a Japanese way to lose weight by drinking hot water just after eating. However it's known also that cold water is not good for dieting people.

we know that 1 calorie is needed to raise 1 gm of water 1 degree Celsius ...
if we say that 500 ml of water weighs 500 gm ... and the temperature of ice water is zero degree celsuis and body temperature is 37 degrees celsuis ... then the body must raise the temperature of 500 gm of water from zero to 37 degrees Celsuis .. so the body will burn 500 X 37 = 18500 calories = 18.5 Calories (kcalories)
now if you drink 2 L of cold water a day, then you'll be burning around 70 Calories/day

Yeah i read that as well, it helps to relax the vocal cords and preserve speech

in conclusion, whether cold or hot or optimal temperature ... drinking water is beneficial for your body and for dieting

p.s : i remember i used to hear that drinking cold water bye3mol karesh ... on the other hand, i read it enhances fat burning and rapidly absorbed from stomach so i don't think eno bye3mol karesh is true

Thank You ...

Yeah you're right...I should have copied it as in the other website but i couldnt find where I read it It is around 70 calories a day but that really can add up and help, especially it is effortless

From personal experience, something feels better after drinking water at room temperature that has to do with digestion...I am not sure why is that tho
